What is recorded here

On a low-lying level landscape. Described c. 1910 as a well with two small cairns adjacent (OS Name Book). Circular well (int. diam. 1.9m E-W; 1.7m N-S) defined by a drystone wall (Wth 0.75m; ext. H 0.6m), but with no evidence of veneration. It was known locally as St Bridget's Well (Gormley 1989, 62). There is the remains of a grass-covered penitential cairn (RO028-166002-) (diam. of top 5m NW-SE; 5m NE-SW; H 0.1-0.3m) immediately to the NW.
